Why we chose JavaScript over CEL

The text discusses the decision to switch from using Google's common expression language (CEL) to JavaScript for the Catalog importer tool in incident.io. The reason behind this change is that JavaScript is more widely used and understood by developers, making it easier for newcomers to use the tool without losing momentum due to unfamiliar syntax. Additionally, JavaScript offers greater flexibility and consistency with other parts of the product. This decision aims to improve user experience and speed up incident response.
